[2Timothy2]

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

— Charles Spurgeon

I do not understand the mystery of grace--
only that it meets us where we are,
but does not leave us where it found us.​

Anna LaMott

THE JOURNEY AND THE DREAM

"Both are important,
The Journey and the Dream,
The coming-out and the entering-in.
Without the Journey
The Dream is a futile entering into yourself,
Where you ride a montonous wheel
That spins around you alone.
With the Journey
The entering-in is itself a journey
That does not end inside you
But passes through the self and
Out the other side of you,
When you ride the wheel
You have found inside.
To remain inside too long
Makes the Journey a fairytale odyssey
And the Dream becomes an illusion.
The wheel must spin on the real road
Where the Dream leads you.
To remain on the road too long
Dims the Dream
Until you no longer see it
And the road replaces the Dream.

The Journey and the Dream
Are one balanced act of love.
And both are realized
Outside the mind."

( I forgot where I got this from. Anyone recognize it???)

"Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels."

It's Raining Men


Humidity's rising
Barometer's getting low
According to all sources
The street's the place to go

'Cos tonight for the first time
At just about half past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen
It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen

Humidity's rising
Barometer's getting low
According to all sources
The street's the place to go

'Cos tonight for the first time
At just about half past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen
I'm gonna go out
I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet

It's raining men
Hallelujah it's raining men
Every specimen
Tall blond dark and mean
Rough and tough and strong and lean

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on a heaven
And she did what she had to do
She taught every angel
To rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find her perfect guy

It's raining men
Go get yourself wet girl
I know you want to

I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin
Hear the thunder
Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed

It's raining men Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen

It's raining men Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's gone much too long
Any time she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know
She's gone to stay
It's breakin' me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's gone much too long
Any time she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Any time she goes away

I know
She's gone to stay
It's breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away
-Bill Withers

Well...we movin' on up,
to the East Side
To that Deluxe Aparment in the Sky
Oh movin;' on up
to the East Side
We finally get a piece of the pie

Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill
Come back home and try again
Just to get up that hill
I am in the big leagues
Its my turn at bat
As long as we live
Its you and me baby
Aint nothin' wrong with that

So we movin' on up
To the East side
To the deluxe apartment in the sky
Oh we movin' on up
To the East side
We finally got a piece of the pie..

y'all can pretty much know where this song came from (if you watch a lot of TV land....)

But to stand in the sun and melt in the wind?"

"Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay, The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire, Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God."

The first is to be kind.

When we stray from His presence, He longs for you to come back. He weeps that you are missing out on His love, protection and provision. He throws His arms open, runs toward you, gathers you up, and welcomes you home.

Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ.
-Paul (Ephesians 4:32)

 

[kelco]

When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fulfillness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ.

Pope John Paul II

I choose kindness...I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

Max Lucado

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
